WinTD Version 4.11c
The current release of WinTD is Version 4.11c. This is a minor bug-fix update to version 4.11 adressing an issue with the new Preferences system (some of you may have version 4.11b which was an interim development build released prior to 4.11c).
Users with 4.11 or 4.11b can contact Estima to receive a free update to 4.11c.
WinTD Version 4.11
Version 4.11 was a minor update to 4.1, which
- Implements the Help system using HTML-based help for compatibility with Vista and Windows 7, and
- Adds back support for the older USCF tournament uploading format, as they have not yet implemented the newer format (version 4.11 supports both formats, so you will be able to use the improved reporting format when or if it is implemented).
